Sharing a response to this execution question:

Is it a good idea to construct a synthetic put by shorting stock and buying cheap calls instead of buying a 60d put?

Today's post is both fun and extremely practical

🌙It's fun because it calls on you to apply multiple option and markets concepts

🌙 It's practical because it's in service of getting better option executions.

The post starts with a user question from Discord

Sharing here for people interested in options. I hear that material like this is "hard to find"

The talk was zero prep (although the sheet took a day to make so i guess that's prep) so pardon my meandering asides

This post started from a reader question and veered into a lot more

One peculiar thing about writing is how hard it is to predict which posts will "land" for people. This is an example of one that I think will, but no need to wonder for long.

Thanks to @kchoudhu.anserinae.net for years ago recommending The Buried by Peter Hessler.

I've read about 20 books this year and it was my favorite (maybe tied with World for Sale)

Word

I went to Twitter originally in mid 2010s to learn about investing and fintwit was great for that narrow mission. And then I discovered you could actually meet people which is great.

But broadening horizons? Thanks but I think I'll go somewhere far or read a book on a beach nearby.
Brother, I’m not looking to broaden my horizons. I’m just looking to hangout with
people I like and shitpost
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

A friend who travels a ton swears by this jet lag app. Giving it a shot for our trip

App notifies you when to get light, caffeine, or darkness etc to smoothly on and off ramp you thru time zones
